Books that I would love to have and read but don't and cannot afford

It --I have borrowed this book and have to return soon
INsomnia--I borrowed this one as well
Desperation
The Regulators
Black House
Cycle of the werewolves

[William50]

For me it is just The Stand. The only version that is in my local bookstore is a hardcover for like 30 bucks so I cant buy it. (I am too young for a job, so I cant go spending that much on a book. I also can't find it at the library. And I have a friend who owns it but wont let me read it and then return it. I think that is because he knows how much I want it and he thinks I will keep it. :angry:

[mia/susannah]

i know how you feel there. I have to find my copy of the stand. When I find it I will let you read it no problem

[alinda]

Milissa,

I have duplicates of two of those books on your list.
I could send one to you if you like PM me your address
and it is yours! ;)

[mia/susannah]

Alinda, I could just hug your neck. thanks a million

[alinda]

I sometimes buy books by the box load @ yard sales etc...
And have more than 1 copy of BH and Regulators or Desperation
I cant remember....do you have a preference?

[mia/susannah]

any or all will work for me. It is up to you which one you send. I am just gratefull

[alinda]

Okay I'll send both, and then you'll have 2 books to read! :D

[razz]

there was this one book i started reading in third grade. i got halfway through it, and then it vanished. i still want to finish it, see how it ends

[William50]

i know how you feel there. I have to find my copy of the stand. When I find it I will let you read it no problem

:wub:

[B Rag]

I'd like to read The Probability Broach, and the rest of that series. I could order it online, but I'd much rather just check it out at the library... unfortunately none of the libraries around here have it.

[sarah]

I have an extra Hardcover copy of The Stand Uncut (no dust jacket) that I got at a garage sale of $1. First person to pm me can have it for free. :D


EDIT: Razz was first. :)

[mia/susannah]

that was a very nice thing to do marelyn, congradulations razz

[razz]

thanks, maerlyn

The Revised Gunslinger

[Brice]

There is no such book, Jean. Don't believe the wicked lies. The story is meant to be read as you read it.


I think I have a copy you can have. Let's see if the mail experiment works first though.

[Jean]

yes, yes, soon! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[LadyHitchhiker]

I've never read
children of the corn
or
the shining.
I know, shocking, but I plan on rectifying it eventually.

[Seymour_Glass]

I have all the books I really want to read... but I can't find or afford pretty much all of the comics I want.

[Heather19]

My list is pretty long.
Just glancing at my bookshelf I've got:
The House Next Door
The Exorcist
Rebecca
Snuff

and for King stuff:
The Dead Zone
Misery
Dolores Claiborn
Danse Macabre
Rage, and Roadwork
Apt Pupil

I've also got many others but these would be the ones on the top of my list. I just have to find the time to read them. I also tend to go crazy buying books when I already have so many to read, that they just keep piling up.

Some other ones that I want to read, but have yet to get would be:
The Terror by Dan Simmons
The Twilight series
Invsible Monsters, Choke, Stranger than Fiction by Chuck P.
Water for Elephants
I Am Legend
The Road

I could just keep going on and on.

[obscurejude]

Last week I found Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork and The Running Man in one volume at Value Village for $1.99! Haven't read it yet but I consider it a good find!

Alex, I'm reading the Bachman Books right now. I fucking love them. Rage was awesome and I'm half way through The Long Walk which is absolutely terrifying. I'm surprised that I'm enjoying them so much, both are phenomenal and will rank among King's best for me.

[obscurejude]

I wanted to read The Long Walk so I could post in The Long Walk thread and know what I was talking about!

I have to finish Skeleton Crew first.

Fuck Skeleton Crew. :lol:

[obscurejude]

I'm trying to read everything with a DT connection.
It's going to take me a while!

I didn't care for Skeleton Crew. Why not take a break and read something phenomenal? Its like you're settling for skittles when a steak dinner just came in off the grill.

[obscurejude]

Are you inviting me over for steak?!!!

I was using a metaphor, buy why not? Do you have a favorite marinade?

[obscurejude]

No, what ever you want is fine by me.
Shall I bring some refreshments with me?

As long as they're at least 40 proof, preferably 80 or more. :)

[obscurejude]

:cool:

[LadyHitchhiker]

I want to read
all of the star trek books...
I know this will take time but eventually I will find them all and read them all... every crappy one...
I have not read Blaze yet..

Allof the Star Trek books? WOW! The Star Trek section of my town's bookstore is bigger than the Star Wars section. Have fun. :thumbsup:

[LadyHitchhiker]

There's 300 or so Star Trek books... but I plan on living a long time.. It's just FINDING all of them now...

[LadyHitchhiker]

By that time we will have another Star TRek series going that I can :drool: over... :D

I didn't meant to infer that all star trek books are crappy, but every ONCE in a while there's one that you look at and say, "why did they publish THIS? I could write something better than this!"

[fx12345]

I would LOVE to own (or rent) the Wardstone Chronicles but I don't know if they are available in english. So sadly I must settle for the Last Apprentice series which is basically the much more childish vershion of it.







PS: Yes, I no it shows Italy's flag under my avatar. I'm from America, I just like Italy more. (No offence, everyone in America).

[LadyHitchhiker]

I want to read Stephenie Meyer's twilight series because I haven't heard a single bad thing about them so far.

I've heard about that. I was thinking about reading it but I always end up reading another SK book. :thumbsup:

[Jean]

I'd like to read IT.
Everyone keeps talking about it, makes me feel left out!
you didn't read it yet?! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_shocked.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_shocked.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_shocked.gif

[Jean]

quoted from the starter post:


This is about the books you'd like to read but haven't because you: can't afford them, can't find them or some other reason!

please do not let it be just another recommendation/advice thread, or it will have to be merged

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/thankyou295.gif

[Jean]

I hate to disappoint you, but it wasn't all about your last post http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wink-1.gif... with such a number of general threads on what we read or don't read, it is important that the specifics are preserved in every case. Because I personally find the idea of this very thread great, and want it to develop in accordance with the guidelines you set in your starter post! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

Take me, for example... I buy books in English only abroad, because I can afford only second-hand, and we do not have second-hand foreign bookstores... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif... Thus, I still don't have either The Gunslinger Revised, or Palahniuk's Lullabye (I saw them in London, but my trunk was already bursting with other books by that time... and those others were all the more precious because at least 75% were presents from my dear Palaver friends!

Now, about you and It - I believe there must be libraries, no? Or used bookstores, or maybe someone you could borrow from?

[alinda]

We are on topic, Officer Jean!

I haven't read IT yet because I can't afford to buy it right now.
But I would like to read it.
I haven't read Black House either because Alinda hasn't sent it to me yet!

Thank you for posting in my thread Jean, I feel honored just to have you reprimand me!



:blush: I am SOOOOOOO embarrased!! I will send it on Monday I promise!!
Do I have your address? PM it to me again?

[Jean]

1. I have no access to a library.

2. If I come across a Gunslinger Revised, I'll buy it for you.

1. That makes two of us! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif
2. Don't hurry, we don't know what kind of bearmail is going to work yet! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_flower.gif

I say you should read it. It's great. :thumbsup:

[LadyHitchhiker]

I just bought a new copy of it and it was 50 cents and it fell apart or otherwise I would send it to you, Alex...

[William50]
